Isn't this the first time Sunfire is on the "main" X-Men team since Giant-Size X-Men? I know he was in Uncanny Avengers for a bit but never ever in a major X book like this.
Mondo was introduced in the Original Generation X comics
Magick being in demon form has long been over.
The old man Healer is literally Healer, he was one of the Morlocks introduced during original Claremont run of Uncanny X-Men.

- wow love the art / coloring.
- I don't know this Mondo guy, when was he introduced?
- That was just some super fun space hijinks, I'm very down with this. Glad they still mention Roberto is rich as fuck.
- Didn't I read somewhere Magik was trapped in demon form or something? She was fine here.
X-Force #1
- Great art, very gritty, just like the book
- Much like the other new series (except New Mutants I guess), I love there's a "villain" in the team, Black Tom in this case. His connection with Krakoa is also a great use of this powers.
- Cool action with the assassin squad but it's kinda funny how a "OMG XAVIER IS DEAD" cliffhanger is supposed to be exciting when the whole premise of this new status quo is that Mutants can just ressurect :)
- Much like Mondo in New Mutants, I don't know who this Healer old man is.
My feelings so far are Marauders / X-Force > New Mutants > Excalibur / X-Men. That X-Men #1 really dissappointed me, I dunno why.
- wolverine is living with his girlfriend and his girlfriend's husband who is also his boyfriend- Why does Wolverine live with the Summer clan lol.
- Why is Cable a teenager? I assume this was pre-Hickman stuff?
- I don't know Vulcan (I know he's the fabled third brother) so him being there also does nothing for me.
- Otherworld is a magic alternate dimension, part of it is the kingdom of Avalon from british folklore. Usually Captain Britain is its protector, and also it serves as a gateway to other universes or something. You'll learn more as you go.

wolverine and cyclops are explicitly both getting it on with jean, and implicitly (they've made some flirts and jokes but nothing direct) probably each other
Not to mention kid Cable dating all five of the Stepford Cuckoos at once, explicitly. Mutants are all about openly polyamorous relationships and now that they run things around the house it has become the norm.wolverine and cyclops are explicitly both getting it on with jean, and implicitly (they've made some flirts and jokes but nothing direct) probably each other
also cyclops flirts with emma
and logan with storm
sometimes with kurt too
And it's also implied that Jean and Emma are hooking up too.Can't tell if you guys are fucking with me or not lol
that's amazing.
Go back and look closely at the floorplan of The Summer House:

Would be weird and awkward for any of the others since they are all related... Mutants are the future of mankind, not the backward redneck cousins of mankind.dude... their rooms are the only ones with doors / access to each other LOL

Hickman's Cable is bad, tbhteenage Cable is an idiot. Like, an actual idiot. His bickering with Rachel is kinda cute I guess
Excalibur #2
- Liked this one a lot more than the first issue. As I said before, love how prominent Apocalypse seems to be in this whole new Hickman X-Verse.
Did they ever address why Vulcan is hanging out in the moon with Sway and Petra and not with Deathbird who was his wife (and potential baby momma)?Lilandra was killed by one of the forces of Emperor Vulcan. The same Vulcan who is living with his brother Cyclops on the moon (but he's a resurrected version)
It seems he doesn't remember any of that. Which makes sense he was probably way too far away to be backed up when he died.Did they ever address why Vulcan is hanging out in the moon with Sway and Petra and not with Deathbird who was his wife (and potential baby momma)?
edit: this would make the "beer scene" make a lot more sense also- there's no more love triangle between scott/emma/jean, Scott and jean have returned to being offical, emma accepts this with no regrets and moves on, being friendly with both.
Yeah other issues disproved that.Went back in the thread to read your guys reactions to all of this live, this caught my eye :D
You misspelled Hellions!Marauders is the best X-Men book since Claremont's Uncanny X-Men.
Hellions is a second wave book. Let's not confuse the newbie.
Yeah other issues disproved that.
Probably because many of X-Men fans are Emma/Scott shippers and even Jean encouraged their relationship in the New X-Men era

This is the one I've been using:

Had to go back and see what the context of that comment was.
It was in response to the theory that Jean wearing her Marvel girl outfit wasn't the current Jean but a much earlier backup made by Xavier because of something weird Hickman said.
I wasn't on board with that at all- the "beer scene" showed that Emma and Jean had moved on from being bitter rivals over scott- which is definitely true (the two don't exactly like each other personally outside of that) , though i dont think any of us expected the reason being a "totally free love environment where everyone is sleeping with everyone else on Krakoa" to be the reason why.
Wolverine-Scott-Jean isn't a love triangle anymore either. The drama is gone and that relationship is just open.
SWORD still kind of escapes me because I haven't read the King in Black event and/or the galactic backstory, but I like that it continues the tradition of non-X-Men books having Jean in a better outfit than her tacky Marvel Girl costume. What a smackdown, though.
Art aside, this arc of X-Force is my favourite since the DoX run started. It's amazing how much you can improve a series by removing Beast and Wolverine.
if i remember correctly some Snarks back in Royals were talking about Snarkwar or somethingThis particular "Snarkwar" is a fairly recent event (i believe it started in Guardians of the Galaxy) caused when one of the Elders of the Universe assassinated the Zn'rx leader in an attempt to destabilize the universe and sell weaponry.

I would have to go back and re-read the arc but i just mentioned it because Ewing did write that one and it could be connected just like his New Avengers eventually led to EmpyreRoyals? The old inhumans book? I remember very little about that one, but it would predate the current conflict. This one started in GOTG immediately before King in Black kicked off.
There have been a few of them so far. If one was mentioned in Royals its since been resolved.
Agreed. Fantastic from beginning to end.Way of X#1 was one of my favourite single issues of this entire era.
Way of X was brilliant. Using Nightcrawler as the audience insert, and having him question the things that are uncomfortable while also acknowledging that some of it might just be our (his previous) cultural perspective.
...and then having Nemesis straight up tell us of the things that are bad, or could become very bad.
The blatant favoritism and disturbing "value" of some mutants over others in resurrection in a society and claims that all mutants are good and great, decided on by only those at the very top. The Crucible inherently favoritism the militaristic or "strong" mutants over others, shifting society in that direction.
And then when Legion just straight up knows what's going on, meaning Nightcrawler will likely be the first major Krakoan mutant to realize that the future is being deliberately obscured (and will also probably suck ass).
